I’m 22 years old, never dated in college, still a virgin, can’t seem to get women to like me as anything more than a friend.

I’m already getting frustrated and jealous of good looking tall men who get all the attention from women and a lot of times feel resentful of women.

How do I not become an incel?

Edit:

I have hobbies, I go to the gym 6 days a week and have for the last 2 years I’m also in the middle of marathon training, I have a job, I have female friends, my hygiene is good and I dress well and go out and try to meet people.

If it were as easy as those things I wouldn’t be in this situation.

Edit 2:

My standards aren’t high. I am not “only going after hot women and ignoring averag and unattractive women”. I am not a misogynist, I do not want to go to a foreign country to participate in sex tourism or prostitution in any way.

Also I do in fact think women are humans.

Edit 3:

I understand 22 is young, but most people start having sex at around 18. I went through 4 years of college and couldn’t get girls to like me.

That’s clearly not normal.
